Motion menus are video clips. You have to make new clips and substitute them for the originals. It can be done, but it takes a bit of work.

Plus, you're not writing very clearly. Is "bmb" a typo for "BMP"? And if so, what does a still pic have to do with a motion menu? Maybe you can provide a still pic of the menu and describe in more and better detail what you'd like to accomplish. I get the impression part of the menu has motion and part is still, and you want to replace the still part. But I could easily be wrong. I wrote a guide a while back to replacing menus, both motion and still. Maybe you'll find it useful:

Or maybe by learning what's involved you'll change your mind about undertaking this project.

Hi-

I don't think there's any real easy way to do what you want - unless you're willing to still the entire menu. I said that the guide was only for getting the menus out and then back into the DVD. The editing part is up to you, and if you insist on keeping it as a motion menu you had better have some encoding and AviSynth skills.

If you're willing to still it using VobBlanker, MenuShrink or MenuEdit, then the job becomes much easier. Then you'll just save out the BMP, edit it in any picture editor, even Microsoft Paint, to add in your name, and then replace the edited BMP back into the DVD following the instructions in The Easy Way part of the guide at the bottom.

If you want to keep it a motion menu I'd use AviSynth for the job. I do this all the time. Save a BMP, edit it however you like to add in your name, crop down to the motion part of the menu, use AviSynth's Layer or Overlay command to stick it on top of the edited BMP and send it to your favorite encoder. There are probably other ways to do it as well, such as using an NLE like Vegas to add in the text before encoding, but that's how I always do it. Here's part of a sample script I used once:

MPEG2Source("I:\Mahal\Menu\Menu.d2v")
B=ImageSource("I:\Mahal\Menu\Menu.BMP",End=2084,FP S=24.975)
Crop(236,48,-212,-148)
Yadif(Order=1,Mode=1)
RePAL()
ConvertToYUY2()
A=Last
B=B.Crop(20,20,-20,0)
B=B.AddBorders(20,20,20,0)
B=B.ConvertToYUY2()
Overlay(B,A,X=236,Y=48)

While I was writing I see that my friend Alex_ander has shown another way to replace the edited menu if you're willing to still it.
